So you asked for it, now you've got it!! The past 3 months are here in a nutshell! After our harddrive crashed, I didn't have access to pictures I wanted, so it just got left for a while. Now we'll get back on track, just in time for summer! Above are our 3 lovely children enjoying a book together in peace and quiet before going to church!
Ethan went to Vancouver with Jim and stayed with the Breedvelds all by himself! Jim was at a course in Sumas. I guess he really loved it there because he definitely did not want to come home, was still crying 2 hours later in Hope! He also informed me that he wants to live with Auntie Carolyne for a whole year and not go to school! Are you up for that Carolyne, trips to the zoo, aquarium, science center every week!!
Matt and Shawna came to PG for the first week of July and Matt put on our new roof on the weekend. This is our prime rib celebration dinner, yay the roof is done! Much thanks to all who helped; Mike, Chris, Brian, Dezene, Greg, Parrish, and Dayna, Justine, and Lori for the yummy cookies!
On Canada Day we went out to 10 Mile Lake to enjoy the sun and water at the Novak's cabin. It was great, and the firework display by Mike and Matt topped it all off! And thankfully, Everest was found after his escape!
Crazy kids in Grandma and Grandpa's backyard!! Those are some dirty backyard feet!! I don't think Noah was enjoying himself that moment!!
Sports day at Cedars! Maren ran against 3 other preschool girls and won first place, what do you mean "size advantage"? Mitchell hung out with his possible future kindergarten buddy, Jackson and Ethan ran against the other boys in his class!
Maren's preschool graduation
Maren had an amazing race birthday party with her friends. They pulled game clues out of a mailbox and played games and enjoyed an earth cake!
This was Maren's 5th Birthday party with the family! Daddy made a special peanut butter, chocolate, smartie ice cream cake for Maren and we all enjoyed it on this warm day!
Frances and I completed our half marathon, and did it in 2 hours, 2 1/2 minutes. The kids also took part in healthy kids day!
Jim built a play area for the kids in our backyard using the treehouse that we brought from our old house. The kids love it, now it just needs paint and some pea gravel underneath.
We enjoyed a muddy but fun hike at Forests for the World.
Nothing like a weiner roast and playing in Grandma and Grandpa's backyard!
Mother's Day with my 3 sweeties!

Wow! That's some blogging! We miss you guys so much! and we miss having Ethan here - Joel asks every day, "where's Ethan?". He misses him :(
But a whole year here...I don't think he'd have as much fun in the winter!
Love you guys! Thanks for the updates!
That was surely an eventful post!

kaaaaa-boom. that was a blog explosion! nice write-ups and pictures. I have an idea, Ethan can come to the Breedveld's with me when I go to school there for 3 weeks next year.
Canada Day was a blast we should all go to Ten Mile or that lake that I can't spell that the Leboe's go to:) Mark it in your calendars. That means you too Brad and Geck.
Great pictures... you guys have had an active few months!!
